Put these on your radar for Summer 2019:PAsmart: Learning PathwaysPlanning to pay stipends for three teachers in each ABC CREATE district to work on the Learning Pathways created by the ABC CREATE collaborative. Expected to be 2 days in June 2019 and 1 day in August 2019. PAsmart: CS OpportunitiesProviding professional development for four teachers (and paying a stipend for attendance) from each member district to participate in a training for code.org’s CS Discoveries curriculum to help develop skills and confidence for our teachers in CS. Our further goal is to expose all ABC CREATE district students to the 6 CS Discoveries units by the end of 8th grade. This will prepare them for a more advanced coding language course and will move forward from simple drag and drop platforms. Expected to be 5 days of training during Summer 2019.

More to come...focusing on equity and an workforce + education task force ....

Sevenzo Professional Learning Project - A few district spots still available With support from the Grable Foundation, up to seven (7) districts within the ABC CREATE collaborative have an opportunity to examine and strengthen their district professional development systems. As of today, there are a few district spots remaining. Districts that choose to participate will have the opportunity to investigate and strengthen their own professional learning systems, with the longer term goal being that we share, build upon, and spread models that support collaboration and learning across the entire collaborative.

Districts that choose to participate will:

Engage a small team in independently taking an online PD assessment to gather multiple perspectives

Convene the team for a 2-3 hour meeting to review the PD assessment results and discuss priorities, with the support of a Sevenzo facilitator

Be invited to attend a half-day convening late in the spring with other participating districts and ABC CREATE to exchange ideas and support one another in planning a few specific PD system changes

Identify a few concrete and realistic action steps to strengthen teacher peer-led learning experiences and address other essential gaps

If you would like to learn more or are ready to sign up to participate, please contact Meredith Bortz at meredith@sevenzo.org.

"What I like most about the Hummingbird kits that I borrow from ABC CREATE is that they make robotics and coding engaging for students of so many skill levels and interests. I am always looking for ways to teach my students 21st Century skills that involve collaboration, interdependence and real-world problem-solving."

What I learned from giving the Hummingbird kits a try was that it is okay to learn together and that because I didn't know everything, it gave my students a chance to come up with their own unique solutions and to seek out experts among themselves - students who could become robotics mentors. It was truly amazing!Cyndy Lindahl, Science 7Armstrong Junior Senior High School
